hi, guys. It's a high tech fever detection system, infrared cameras that can scan your body and read your skin temperature instantly. Airports and hospitals around the world currently using it to help prevent community spread. And now demand for this infrared technology is skyrocketing. Here in the U. S. We have learned major companies are signing up. You may be walking, passing the board cruise ship soon, or even just to get to work. So how does it work? I'm about to show you. Just this week, a sick passenger on this jet blue flight was able to get past airport security and board the plane flying from New York City to West Palm. Turns out he had been tested for the Corona virus, but flew anyway. He has a testing positive. No one knew on cruise ships. When you board, they ask you this. You hope your fellow passengers are telling the truth at your office. No forms at all. But now this infrared technology can spot illness in real time portable devices and fixed cameras now in use at airports in China and Mexico. I'm here with Gary Strahan, CEO of Infrared Camera Incorporated. We're going to show all the really cool testing devices that you have for airports and cruises that could really be a game changer in just a second. But first you just blew my mind with something. You say that we've been taking our temperatures wrong all this time because at home, and it's very important now with the Corona virus, of course, to know if your kids were sick. If you're sick, a lot of us have these consumer guns. At home. I walk over to my son and hit the forehead, but you said the forehead is the worst place to do it. The forehead is not the hottest spot on the human face, the hottest spot on the human faces, the inter campus or the tear duct. So you have nerve endings right here, and this is the hottest. Makes it more accurate doing to me right now. You have one of the year, so measuring your fourth temperature right now is 90 90 degrees for tonight, and your inner campus temperature is 97.2. Huge difference. Absolutely. You're always going to get the hottest spot. With a non contact thermometer like this, you need to measure right here at the Inter campus or the tear duct. If you don't believe me, if you have a non contact thermometer, try at home. But the biggest piece of his tack could test millions of travelers fast, highly calibrated infrared cameras with ultra sensitive sensors that can attach to metal detectors. So no extra work for you as your scan for metal. It checks her temperature. Just this week, we have learned Carnival Cruise Lines ordered the cameras to test passengers and crew and Ford buying it, too, to test and protect employees at its plants. Okay, let me show you how this works. And at the metal detector right now, you walk up, you see the camera right up there. It tells you, please stand still. Look into the camera. Remove your glasses. Remove your cap. Okay, so I'm standing here. It automatically instantaneously gets my temperature. I'm a 99.1 right now. 98.6. The light is green, which means I can walk through now just to show you how this works. This is my producer, Sarah. Hey, Sarah. Okay, so this is hot. Hot coffee. Okay, so watch what happens. Get into place there the second I walk in front. You hear that? Hear that alarm? It's a 137 degrees right now. The alarms going off, they know to pull that person aside and do some additional testing. This could really be a game changer. The cameras, they're simple, They're passes. And I believe it's the future. And eventually they're gonna be everywhere. I mentioned these cameras were heavily and use right now in airports and China and Mexico. So you're probably asking, why aren't they in American airports? So far, full body temperature scanners aren't approved here for airports. The companies that make the cameras say they're working closely with the U. S. Government trying to speed up that approval process, hoping to get these installed soonest back to you.
